A Stumble Down Memory Lane

Found a ton of photos in a box while cleaning out my childhood bedroom. What a great opportunity to embarrass myself and the one's I love.

My Jim Harbaugh grin at some ice cream parlor in Allendale, Michigan in 2002. These kids to the right were doing something funny that was not captured on film. But, I like the picture all the same...

"Excuse me Mr. Queer, will you take a picture with my sons?" Nothing like being 15 years old and taking a trip down to Chicago to see The Queers, the Groovie Ghoulies, Screw 32, and Alkaline Trio (their first show) at the Metro. That was also the trip where the highway caught on fire in Gary, Indiana and no one seemed to care. They just drove through it.

Mike Nummerdor after the Chicago concert. We stayed at some hotel in Michigan City, Indiana and stayed up all night (which was easy if you drank enough Bubba Cola). I'll have to put up the pictures of us at the outlet mall next to the nuclear plant and other oddities at some point.

Meerkat Mike. Probably about 1997 when the Nummerdor family moved into their home on the corner of Forest Park and Lake Harbor. Lynne tasked us with removing a post at the end of the driveway, which ended up being a far bigger task than expected. We did far more damage than help on that project.

Nick Nummerdor as a groundhog.

"Mom. You just hit that button. No, not that one. The other one. No. What? Did it go off?" This was part of some project I was working on . There are a series of these photos trying to instruct my mom on how to use the weird, cheap camera I use to own.

Hey! There's a gnome behind that rock!

J.T. Law teamwork retreat to St. Andrew's Hall in Pontiac, Michigan to see NoFX. We're with Fat Mike, the lead singer and bassist. Ben looks confused because he thought he was just some random guy we met in the parking lot.

Ah, Ben figured out how I scored us free tickets to the show and we're not just randomly harassing people in the parking lot.

Grand Rapids is Burning! On my way to something and got stuck when a building burned down near Division Street.
